1 T chopped parsley
1 t cumin

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers from the tomato sauce. The falafel were still very flavorful.

These cauliflower falafel were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the spicy tomato sauce was the perfect accompaniment. I will definitely be making these again.
